Oladapo Olaitan
Church Planter
Oladapo Olaitan is a church planter at Ibadan Reformed Fellowship in Ibadan, Nigeria. Ibadan Fellowship is a church plant of Sovereign Grace Bible Church in Lagos, led by HeartCry missionary Osinachi Nwoko. Oladapo received his ministerial training from Baptist College of Theology in Lagos, graduating with a Bachelor of Theology. His primary ministry is to the Yuroba people, and his current responsibilities include preaching, conducting Bible studies, leading prayer meetings, and evangelism. With the church positioned near three institutions of higher learning, campus outreach is also an ongoing part of his ministry. In Ibadan, Christianity, Islam, and remnants of traditional idol worship coexist, but the city is heavily characterized by nominal faith, syncretistic practices, and rising Western secular trends, especially among the youth and working class. Against this backdrop, Oladapo prays “for an awakening and revival of the Holy Spirit.” He has been a partner with HeartCry since 2025, and he has been married to his wife, Funmilayo, since 2017.
